Whiffers -- Check out your safari browser. It is available for Windows, so I downloaded it and was able to fix the text color problem by changing one line of code.
Looks fantastic on my home computer and phone. Thanks for fixing it!
Attention Citizens!
I need someone with some AJAX smarts to help me. I desperately want to add a polling feature to my site and I have a nifty plugin, but the AJAX is not working. Can anyone help me?
The page is a little screwed up, but I'm making some changes that should look good when I'm done. For now, it's off on a family junket.
Bartlett, M11 in the best list; Cap'n O. left wanting in
SAFE (spatial aggregate fielding evaluation) rankings.
I read that this afternoon, I loved the opening line.
Now, Big Mak will explain, without statistics, why "Hit 'em where they ain't" works.
Because, then they can't catch it as easily.
Exactly. The trick as an infielder is to reduce one's ain't coefficient (AC). A quantum-capable dodger would be ideal.
Schroedinger's Shortstop?
The problem isn't in fielding the infinite number of possible ground balls that could be hit, it's in figuring out which of the infinite number of first basemen to throw it to.
And then, once the first baseman has the ball, it turns out the umpire's been paralyzed by the Uncertainty Principle.
Or the play was ruled incomplete by Gödel.
You'll never be able to prove that first base is actually 'first'.
+10, pally!
Kant touch you cats. That was a query.
Schroedinger wouldn't have known whether the ball was in the glove or not without looking. Kind of like Luis Rivas, Juan Castro or Tony Batista.
Aw, over ½ of Batista's missed grounders actually quantum-tunnelled through his glove.
the problem is, once Rivas/Castro/Batista determined where the ball was, they couldn't know where it was going. And if they knew where it was going, they wouldn't know where it was.
I think. I'm uncertain about that.
This winter, I've been going to mlb.com and listening to broadcasts of last year's Twins games. I'm listening to the game from July 21, and just heard Joe Mauer hit an inside the park home run, which I had completely forgotten about.
I can't wait until the season starts.
You shoulda been doing game logs, JeffA!!
How many different cups of coffee are you offering these days, Boss? Yer getting to be like Starbucks.
I liked the one with the beans sprawled.
I've got a change coming in the CoC. Maybe next weekend I'll roll it out.
There is one way to guarantee a sunny day in Seattle: get a hangover. I swear it works every time.
This weather truly is glorious.
Hey SBG -- I think the "author" line is no longer appearing at the top of the posts anymore.
Yeah, you are right. I had a huge SNAFU this weekend and had to revert back to an old version.
I do like the smaller font. Now ubelmann can get Gleeman-length with his anaylsis, and still could fit nicely on a page.
btw, another mail in your box...
Here's a vote for the larger font. Your demographic, as it were, will suffer. Or maybe it's just me...
(bifocals)
I vote for the larger font, although I personally can see the smaller font quite easily. I'm still w/o glasses at age of 43 and have the 20/20 going.
You are a lucky man.
it's all those years of sniffin'
gluepaint, E-6.I'm on the downhill side of 44 and the font looks just fine to me. 'course I still have better than 20/20.
It's either that or genetics, doc.
(And for the record, I'm not sporting bifocals. Yet.)
Listening to the Doors is like eating carrots, E-6. I recommend it highly.
As Etta James once sang, "I'd Rather Go Blind". Or in the case of Morrison and crew, maybe I'd rather go deaf...
